FAQ
 
How to I make a donation and get a raffle ticket?
Step one: go to www.donateyourweight.org to make a secure, on-line donation. Step two: You will receive a donation confirmation e-mail from CARE with the title: "Thank You for Supporting CARE", once you receive this e-mail, you must forward it to hungerawareness@donateyourweight.com. This is the only way we can track how much you donated and also know how to contact you if you've won a prize. The information will only be used in conjunction with the October 2007 Hunger Awareness fundraiser and will not be shared with or sold to others.
 
Where does the money go?
All the money you donate goes directly to CARE, Donate Your Weight doesn't touch one red cent of it. CARE states on their main website that 91% of the funds go to program activities and 9% goes to support services and fundraising. You can support CARE directly by going to their website at care.org but you will not be eligible for the Donate Your Weight raffle if you take that route.
 
Can I donate directly to CARE without going to the Donate Your Weight.org page
Yes, you can donate directly to CARE at care.org but you will not be eligible for the raffle. The website at www.donateyourweight.org is actually a CARE website, they do all the work and process all the donations Donate Your Weight just links to them. CARE websites are available to anyone who would like to raise funds for CARE.
 
How can I be sure I'm eligible to win the prizes?
To win raffle prizes, be sure you forward a copy of your donation receipt to hungerawareness@donateyourweight.com. This receipt will tell us your donation amount and your contact info but don't worry, it doesn't have any info about your credit card and we are only using it so we know how to contact you once you've won. You will not be added to any lists unless you want to and your information will not be sold or shared with anyone unless you physically sign up for a mailing list.
 
When does the raffle end?
To be eligible for raffle prizes, you must make your donation before midnight EST on October 31, 2007
 
When are you going to announce the winners?
Winners will be alerted by November 8, 2007. Annoucements will be made in the podcast, weekly tips and on this webpage.
 
How do I claim my prize?
We will contact you using the information you provided and make arrangements for delivery or execution of your prize winning.
 
What if I want to donate a prize for you to use in the raffle?
We would love it, please contact us at hungerawareness@donateyourweight.com to make arrangements. Remember, this raffle is being offered to a worldwide audience, please submit an item that anyone in the world can use and (if applicable) you don't mind shipping to a foreign country if need be. We recommend gift certificates, downloads or other things that people can use on-line or over the phone versus an item that needs to be shipped or that can only be used if you live in a certain location.
 
Will you give me a 501c3 receipt if I donate a prize?
No, we're sorry, we are not able to provide that for you at this time. We recommend that you give a prize such as tickets, downloads or items that you want to share with the public that won't really cost you out-of-pocket but will draw attention to what you have to offer and might result in future business for you. Of course if you donate money to CARE, they will give you a receipt for your donation.
 
What if I'm really interested in one prize in particular, can I enter a raffle for only that item?
In order to make it fair for everyone, all tickets will be entered into one large raffle and tickets will be chosen one at a time until all prizes have been awarded. You can put in a request for a specific item and if your ticket is drawn before that item is given away, we will honor your request. A great way to increase your odds of winning a particular prize is to get lots of tickets! Remember, they're only $10 each and your donation is tax-deductible and it will help starving children...what an investment!
 
Can I win more than one item?
Sure, if you're one of those who's generous enough to buy multiple raffle tickets at $10 each, we'd be more than happy to give you a prize everytime your ticket is picked.
